    Orion V2 roll call

    @ 'slapho': Does the top coil still glow when you hold it horizontal and push the button? @ 'godspeed': Try raising the negative connection w/ (2) M2 nuts. That brings the coil closer to the airhole. Either that or sand your tank down. The first option is easier. That will increase your...

    Orion V2 roll call

    Yeah, I'd go ahead and use it. I always keep the top cap and plate dry in between filling to minimize condensation. You could always order a spare switch from 'pailpoe' by PM'ing him on Vapor Wall. In the event you'd need to replace it, you can shoot silicone in the void space under the...

    #500 SS Mesh

    What size drill bit for the Orion? Metric I assume? I can't remember but think the wick hole is 2.5mm?

    Seraph Vaping Titanium hybrid

    First I've heard of it. While I try to somewhat keep up, it'd be a fulltime job. Does look nice, but I'll have to look at it closer when I have more time.

    Orion V2 roll call

    Just got back from a trip, now it's catch up time ;) @ 'Whoppin': We found heat is the main (not only) culprit w/ the juice turning dark, so yeah, it could be a short. Chain vaping can also lead to that among other factors.

    First impression of the Orion V2.1 (5/64th modded air hole)

    I'd experiment w/ a 10ml bottle or Vivi Nova or you can get an extra top cap in the UK and have both.

    Wick and Coil Tips and Tricks.

    No problem, I've had a similar thing happen before and it was the wick needing replaced. Yes, still here! I tend to hide out in the modders or RBA forums. I'm on way too many forums and am trying to ease off but it's hard ;)

    Wick and Coil Tips and Tricks.

    Are you sure the coil isn't burning into the mesh? I find that over time w/ multiple dry burns, it will after about that long and the wick needs replaced.

    Looking for Replacement O-rings for the DID (Short)

    For the US I'd go w/ the O-ring store or maybe McMaster Carr for metric sizes. The former does have $5 s/h. I also posted a thread a while ago asking where to find them.

    Orion V2 roll call

    Ahh, the old change in the pocket... sorry to hear. I'm OCD about not doing that but it's easy to forget! As for cleaning, maybe a metal finisher or jeweler could help maintain the satin finish? Someone may chime in w/ a better idea but I'd be careful trying to polish it.

    Cool running

    While I don't disagree w/ you, I think there are multiple factors contributing to the darkening. I can certainly see the 'sludge' travel down and swirl in the tank sometimes. We had a lengthy discussion on another forum and decided heat was the most contributing factor. One member had a top...

    Orion V2 roll call

    The newest Orion's come w/ glass tanks so it should be safe. The earlier ones had some type of plastic so I'm not sure if they'd mix well..

    The "science" behind the twisted coil?

    Just a word of caution when twisting coils; you essentially cut the resistance in half. So... say you have a 1ohm coil (single) using a certain gague/certain # of wraps. If you replicate that w/ a twisted coil, you'll have roughly .5ohms! They do work well just realize that before twisting.

    Small tweak on the NGP Genesis Hybrid

    Nice video, I know some enlarged the air hole and loved it while others wish they hadn't. Glad to hear it worked well in your favor. I usually favor a smaller air hole but something in the NGP is lacking while I do like it... may have to try it!

    Orion V2 roll call

    While Les doesn't recommend people taking them apart unless need be, I'm sure this will help people out who need to replace the switch. As you said, the silicone tube is lubed w/ vaseline. Also w/ the nut on the positive post, it was mentioned that a couple threads showing is best, especially...

    which one is the real ce6

    Since using Genisis atties exclusively I haven't kept up on the CEx revisions. One thing I learned when being on top of them was... it's mind numbing! Then there's the copy cat syndrome. Once something is made the other Chinese companies will copy, rebrand, etc. Just look on Alibaba sometime...

    Very nice 'raidy', I look forward to hearing about it when it's de-classified.

    Good deal, let us know.

    Orion V2 roll call

    Make sure you have at least a couple threads showing on the nut/screw for the positive post, otherwise, tighten that nut down a little. That usually cures the top hot spot.

    The only commercial 'raidy approved' vendor I know of is Electra Pipes. They will sell his new automatic device/s you've read about here in the near future as well.
